Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contactless flushing device for a toilet facility, with at least one proximity sensor, according to a use of the toilet system a signal for a flush trigger emits.
  • the invention also relates to a method for contactless and automatic flushing of a toilet system, whereby for A proximity sensor is actuated and this is triggered emits a signal to trigger the flush.
  • Non-contact flushing devices are used for hygienic reasons has been demanded for a long time.
  • In urinal systems have contactless Flushing devices have been tried and tested in practice for a long time. at So far, however, they have not been able to establish toilet facilities.
  • Such flushing devices require the highest level of functional reliability and at the same time, the flushing device is intended for the user do not overwhelm, i.e. understandable for this without further instructions his.
  • a contactless flush trigger would be easy possible with a sensor located behind the toilet bowl is automatic and when the user steps away Flushing triggers. In practice it has been shown that a suitable Arrangement of this sensor is difficult and the flushing is often not triggered at the right time.
  • EP 0 487 977 B describes a flushing device for a toilet facility become known that behind the toilet bowl a toilet use position detection sensor having.
  • the sensor cares for a signal for a first flush when a user is in a first position.
  • the sensor range of this sensor is switched to a longer sensor range if the user sits in the first position.
  • the sensor range is switched to a shorter sensor range again if the user reaches a second position when stepping away.
  • the first range is about 450 mm and the second range about 950 mm.
  • Such devices are incorrect in use and prone to failure.
  • the invention has for its object a non-contact To create flushing device of the type mentioned in the application is more understandable for the user and in any case one Flushing is triggered.
  • a second sensor or a sensor with distance detection is provided, which is arranged so that it is removed from the toilet bowl is forcibly operated by the user and thereby a Emits a rinsing signal, which in the case of one that has not yet occurred Rinse trigger triggers an automatic rinse.
  • the toilet facility can be left without rinsing, the automatic system triggers in this case a rinse.
  • Such a sensor can, for example attached to the building wall behind the toilet bowl his. The flush is then when the user is removed automatically triggered by the toilet bowl without conscious actuation.
  • FIG. 1 shows a toilet bowl 2 with a lid 3, the front a building wall 1 is arranged.
  • a cistern 20 Located in building wall 1 behind a control button 4 a cistern 20, the is connected to the toilet bowl 2 via a flushing pipe 21.
  • a flush valve 8 In the cistern 20 there is a flush valve 8 and an actuating device 10.
  • the cistern 20 can also another flushing device, for example by a so-called Flush valve must be replaced.
  • the actuation button 4 consists essentially of a Button 4a and a housing 4b.
  • the button 4a When pressing the button 4a becomes the flushing valve by means of the actuating device 10 8 actuated and thus triggered a flushing in a known manner.
  • the button 4a automatically goes back into the when released original rest position.
  • a proximity sensor is located in the button 4, preferably in the button 4a 11 installed, which is substantially perpendicular to the Wall 1 emits.
  • the direction of radiation is in Figure 1 with the dashed line 4c indicated.
  • the range of the sensor 11 is comparatively short, for example about 5 cm.
  • the sensor 11 is therefore preferred integrated in the button 4a.
  • the sensor 11 is according to the figure 2 via a signal line 13 with a control device 14 connected. This in turn is connected to the via a signal line 15 Actuator 10 connected.
  • the actuator 10 is, for example, one with a known actuating lever. Basically, the actuating device 10 can also be designed differently, for example a pneumatic one or electrical actuator.
  • the sensor 11 thus sends to the control device 14 Signal, and on the basis of this signal is sent to the actuator 10 actuated the flush valve 8 to trigger a flush.
  • a valve plate 9 is raised.
  • a flushing can in the event of a failure of the sensor 11 or Control device 14 also by mechanical actuation of the Push button 4 are triggered.
  • the hand 5 shown in Figure 1 is continue from the position shown against Push button 4a moves and this is pressed.
  • the button 4a is not used. This only serves if necessary, mechanically and as usual one Trigger flushing. The comparatively short distance is essential between the hand position for non-contact release and the hand position when mechanically actuating the Key 4a.
  • the button 4a can also be a rocker, which for Flush trigger is pivoted.
  • a Fan for odor extraction switched on become.
  • a seat cleaning device turned on becomes.
